NO 46 AS TO SCHOOL BOOKS, A Look Before and After and Some Facts That Should be Well Weighed by the State Board of Education.. Mr. C. L. Pitton, who signs himsel "General Manager of the University Publisoing Com pany," is out in a card in the Raleigh News and Ooserver id defense of bis company. As the Argcs baa bad some tbiug to say on tbe scbool book question we tbink it Well to no bice a few ul bis utatemems. 1st. He denouaces as "entirely and ULquskhfiediy false" tbt biaiemeui mat tus company is a trust comoiuatioo. Hi says be offered to prove by tbe books and records of bis company tbe truttifuiuess of bib statement. In otner words, thai tbe book keeper" will corro borate tbe "general manager" a. I uf me saae oucern. Haona Bays ibere are no trusts. K is a fact generally known in Norm Oaroiiua lbat when tbe books were adopted in tbe differ ent counties of tbe State tbere was no cor flict between tbe Ujiveriiy and American companies, Tbe Democratic nana book ol 1900 names tbe American rJcOtt Company as one of tbt trusts tbat, in tbe word ot tbe platform, "destroy conipuiuiou, lessen tbe employ meat ot labor and arbitrarily fix tbe term auo conaiuuns tuereof mud deprive individual energy aud small cap ital of tbeir opportunity for bet termenu" In eome instances the tame at torneys udvocuud b.Lre tbt county boards of education the adoption of tbe bucks of both tbe University and Ametuaa com panies. After tbe scbool book bill be came a law, Mr. J. VV, Tnacketoo, gmeial sgent of tbe American Book Company, sent out circular letters atking for tna endorsement of the books now in use in tbe public schools of the State most of which are supplied by the Uni versity Publishing Company .This was followed up by a personal canvass by toe agents and attor neys of the Amuiican Book Com pany of tne county boa ids of edu cation anl cuunty buporinUndenU of almost every county in the State. The editor of this paper knows of at leaet oue instance ict which diirepaUble aeibodd were rtsorttd to to secure endorsements of books in ue. Toeso endorse menti, tecurod by the agents and attorneys of the Amtricaa Book C jmpany, are now bt-iog used by ihe utiortfej s of the Uoivers ty Company with the hop ) of in flutncicg the action of the State Board of EJucation. If tbe American and Uuivereity cenip: nies aro net members of tbt same trust or combination tben the steel trubt is a myth ard the ti&udard Oil trust is merely a "bcnoelent arrangement to pro mote tbe welfare tf tbe consumers of oil." 2nd. But more astonishing still is the statement of Mr. Patton, that tbe Uuivertiiy Publishing Company did not oppose the pass age of the Ay cock Bcbool book law, but, on tbe contrary, was m favor of it. . , Tois reminds us of the fellow, who upon being tuld that a smal eye, was larger th n tbe moon, exclaimed, it's got a tf a pebr way of showing it" Every member of the Legisla ture knowi tbat this is not tbe truth. The University and Amer ican compani a h d attorneys at tbe Legislature b tbe sore op posing tbe bill propo iog any amcniment toat they thought would weaken or defeat the bilL Artic'es from ibe pen of Capt. W. B. KendrLk, tbe ve eran State agent of ihc University Company, endeavoriDg to convince the mem bers thai 'twaimp S'ible to reduce tbe price of book ualass the State would buy tbe bocks, were pub lished in the Morning P.st and laid on the desks ot the members of the Legislature wheo the bill was ucdor discussion. Wtild,since tbe p-iB-jage of the bill, tbat thty opposed so earnestly tbe same cjmpany bas offered book that are now in use in tbe State, at more than 30 per cent leia tban they are to-dy charging the child ren of tbe State lor the same ook. Mr. Pdtton grows eloquent in defense of the ouoty boards of education. Tbe Legislature did not ntend to r fleet up n the genlle- mea conttituting thrse boards, a; d we upprehend that tbey will not ba especially gratified at hay ing a representative of the book trust as their champion Many I ol the gentleman constituting tneee boards had grown tired of the ef forts of age "to like tbe Univer sity's venerable agent, Capt Ken Ui ick, eot'e -voii g to take tbem under tee ah id w of h'f protect ing winz. Tbe methods of tbe book trust, we respectfully submit, have Dot oeen t-ucu as to foster tbe best interest of the State. It has done all tbat it could to stifle competi tion: it has exerted its every in fluence (iud it bas in its employ a score pi tbe shrewdest attor neys in .tbe S'.ati), to prevent any reduction in the price of books it is determined to 'drive from tbe State every indepen dent puolisber. If tbe State Board of Education permits it to carry out us programme,then our Southern authors will And no publisher for their book, and :be price of ourschool books may be restored to the exborbitant prices that wenow pay, when it suits tbe interest of tbe book trust to do 8 ). Tbe people do not want this done. SWEDISH GYMNASTIC. The Swedish Gymnastic is a pro duct of the renaissance of the Gym nasties in the beginning of tbe cen- century. It is the natural outcome of eight years of development, tbe fruit of nearly a century of careful study. It bad its first formal introduction in 1813 in a State institution at Stockholm and its growth has been under the protection of the Swedish government. The functions of the heart and lungs are the fundamental functions of the body. Upon these the welfare of all the other funtions depends. It is the aim of Swedish Educational Gymnastics to develop these funda mental functions and it endeavor to attain this end by a series of move ments of the voluntary system which shall be so arranged and executed as to bring about a healthy response between the muBoles and the will. It does not strive to develop physical specialists, but only to train the dif ferent organs of the body. To pro- and respiratory functions to increase volitional control of the body. Those who labor only to enrich the mus cles often make pitious beggars of the heart and lungs. The system is composed of a certain number of movements succeeding each other in well defined order, calculated to produce certain effects in a certain succession, and these movements be ing designed to bring about a unity. First in the day's work are order movements. Following this first class ia a class called leg movements, next are strain bending movements and heave movements, balance move ments, movements for the back, &C. The movements mentioned, follow each other in the order named and are performed with gradually in creasing force, compelling stronger and stronger action from the circu lating and respiratory organs but never exceeding a certain point and a deep, free undisturbed respiration during the movement. There are exercises of running, jumping, gymnastic dances, and marching evolutions. - A class in Swedish Gymnastic will be conducted, beginning on Monday next, by Misa Caddie Fulg-hum.
